I bought a mint condition used Uniden PC68XL 40 Channel CB Radio at $27 for backup to my main CB being a Realistic TRC-483. The Uniden is a fine CB and receives as well as the TRC-483. I turned up pot VR5 on the Uniden and now get 16 watts peak output that is 100% modulation. On transmit the Uniden is not quite as clear or loud as the TRC-483 and the Uniden has mic gain control- go figure. The TRC-483 does not need an amplified microphone either- it is that loud on transmit. The TRC-483 has a resistor cut for 16 watts peak output. I just bought a new in box TRC-483 for $35 and this will be my backup CB. The Uniden is going on the auction block, however it is a good radio. The TRC-483 is the best CB I ever used and I owned about 30 CB radios.
